véhicule à occupation multiple; VOM : Le terme «véhicule à occupation multiple» est impropre. En effet, l'adjectif «multiple», employé au singulier comme dans l'expression «occupation multiple», peut signifier «constitué de plusieurs parties ou éléments de même nature» (dans ce sens, il est généralement utilisé avec un nom désignant une chose concrète) ou encore «formé d'éléments de nature différente». Or, il est simplement question ici d'un véhicule qui transporte plusieurs ou de nombreuses personnes, autrement dit «de multiples occupants», comme un taxi, un véhicule utilisé en covoiturage ou un autobus. 2, record 1, French, - v%C3%A9hicule%20multioccupant
